Why did Sun invest in XML?

 [Next]

 

Sun organized and led the XML activity, beginning in 1996. Sun continues to lead the XML activity today. Why?

  1. HTML was not enough for publishing on the Web.
  2. HTML was not enough for distributed applications.
  3. Without XML, HTML would have been replaced by a more powerful binary proprietary format.

We developed XML to keep Web data open and portable.
